Got this yesterday in the early AM on all 3 HR24s. I've been using the 2 in my main room a lot since then. No issues at all with this one. And while it is still too soon to make definitive statements about it, I noticed that I didn't get any audio/video glitches and it never ignored the remote.

Both of those things were happening every day with differing amounts of time involved.

My receiver won't boot up--it keeps trying. It's up to at least 10 "Hellos" now. No lights on the front panel either. Got the update at 2:46am. Have reset, unplugged, the whole nine yards. Time for a new DVR.

Our HR21/100 got this update & it's displaying the wrong time. I went into settings & it's set on Pacific time but showing 1 hour behind. Why is that?

Hello maddog707,

I will take a guess that the settings for Time Zone: is not Pacific Time and or Daylight (DST): (Daylight Savings Time (DST)) is not set to Auto (Yes) or just plain Yes. One or both could be wrong. Press Menu > Settings and Help > Settings > Display > Clock > Check Time Zone: and Daylight (DST):.

The main content of this release seems to be fixes to the many HDMI-related issues people have reported.....

What issues would those be? On my HR20-700 about two weeks ago out of the blue I started getting the blocked content message regarding HDCP..I figured the cable isnt HDCP compliant so I switched to component output. Was this not supposed to happen?

HDMI handshake issues that a lot of people are/were having.

HDCP is something different and isn't an "issue", it's supposed to happen. Certain providers, like HBO, are forcing HDCP. You won't be able to watch their content via any other output (component, composite, S-Video) while HDMI is hooked up if the HDMI device is not on.

For example say you have TV A hooked up via HDMI and TV B hooked up via component. You won't be able to watch HBO, or other providers forcing HDCP, on TV B with TV A turned off.

I finally got the update on my HR24 this morning (was waiting for 5cd) and all of my problems are now fixed. Of course, I wasn't having any problems with 59e, and didn't want 5cd due to the reported problems reported here with that one. However, my HR23 has 5cd with no problems.
So everything looks good for now.

I got the 0X5d2 update this morning - 4:16 AM.
I check Cast & Crew quite frequently, because I enjoy seeing the actors photos, and other stats - ( birth place birth date etc. ), but now in Cast & Crew, on any of the movies I check, I see no pix/stats at all anymore.
Is it due to this update, or are Cast & Crew stats being permanently dropped ?
Same on both living room, and bedroom HR24/500's .

If it's permanent, I'm sure going to miss them - it was an interesting, and enjoyable feature .

Lots of times after an update the guide data is lost and has to be re-downloaded from the satellite stream again. Usually the guide grid, and show descriptions get downloaded first, and the posters, fandango/rotten tomato ratings, cast/crew information gets downloaded later on. Give it 24-48 hours and it should be back.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

I got the 0X5d2 update this morning. I did not have to reset or anything. All is well, and I got a bonus, YouTube. It stopped working on previous 0x059E. I did notice YouTube stutters on startup, but clears up after a second or two. All looks good to me. I do not route HDMI through my Denon AVR. The HDMI cable goes directly to the Sony LCD.

It's not permanent, all that data was cleared and will be rebuilt over the next couple of days.

I love the cast and crew info, use it all the time.

This morning, the sound on mine wouldn't work at all. After reset (took five tries), it worked. I do have a Yamaha AVR between the HR-24 and the tv. I had no problems before.

this happened to me also today. came home from work and turned on TV and had no sound. so i unplugged everything and let it reboot. did not know it was firmware update till i checked once it was rebooted and came here looking to see if others had the same problem. everything seems to be working fine and i did not lose any data or shows
